[Chorus]
I don't need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bougie friends
I don't need love lookin' like diamonds
Lookin' like diamonds

[Pre-Chorus]
(Get sleazy, get sleazy, get sleazy, get sleazy)
(Get sleazy, get sleazy, get sleazy, get sleazy)
I'ma get (Get sleazy, get sleazy)
Get (Get sleazy, get sleazy)
I'ma get (Get sleazy, get sleazy)
Get (Get sleazy, get sleazy)
Ooh!

[Chorus]
I don't need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bougie friends
And I don't need love lookin' like diamonds
Lookin' like diamonds
I don't need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bougie friends
And I don't need love lookin' like diamonds
Lookin' like diamonds

[Verse 1]
You can't imagine the immensity
Of the fuck I'm not giving
About your money and manservant
At the mansion you live in
And I don't wanna go places
Where all my ladies can't get in
Just grab a bottle, some boys
And let's take it back to my basement and get sleazy
Sick of all your lines, so cheesy
Sorry, daddy, but I'm not that easy
I'm not gonna sit here while you circle-jerk it and work it
I'ma take it back to where my man and my girls is

[Pre-Chorus]
(Get sleazy, get sleazy)
Get (Get sleazy, get sleazy)
'Cause I'ma get (Get sleazy, get sleazy)
Get (Get sleazy, get sleazy)
'Cause I'ma get

[Chorus]
I don't need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bougie friends
I don't need love lookin' like diamonds
Lookin' like diamonds
I don't need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bougie friends
I don't need love lookin' like diamonds
Lookin' like diamonds

[Post-Chorus]
Rat-a-tat-tat on your dum-dum drum
The beat's so fat, gonna make me come (Um-um-um...)
Over to your place
Rat-a-tat-tat on your dum-dum drum
The beat's so fat, gonna make me come (Um-um-um...)
Over to your place

[Verse 2]
I-I-I don't mean to critique on your seduction technique
B-b-but your money's not impressing me, it's kinda weak
Th-th-that you really think you're gonna get my rocks off
Get my top and socks off
By showing me the dollars in your dropbox
Me and all my friends, we don't buy bottles, we bring 'em
We take the drinks from the tables when you get up and leave 'em
And I don't care if you stare
And you call us scummy
'Cause we ain't after your affection
And sure as hell not your money, honey

[Chorus]
I don't need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bougie friends
I don't need love lookin' like diamonds
Lookin' like diamonds
I don't need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bougie friends
I don't need love lookin' like diamonds
Lookin' like diamonds

[Post-Chorus]
Rat-a-tat-tat on your dum-dum drum
The beat's so fat gonna, make me come (Um-um-um...)
Over to your place
Rat-a-tat-tat on your dum-dum drum
The beat's so fat, gonna make me come (Um-um-um...)
Over to your place

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
